Was going to get mine done a month ago but thought i would wait for a mate to try it out before i did it incase it killed it...

Hes had it done over a month ago and everything has been running fine... the only thing i was wanting to know (he cant tell em cause he doesnt have DSL or cable) is if you get it done if there were any issues with online updates etc.

Anyone?

Im going to get it done anyway... but just wanted to know.

yeah i've got it done, mate did it. Its pretty simple, just a chip wired to the dvd-rom, even if i unplug it, originals still work etc... don't see it as any risk... but i haven't done any updates yet. But can't see how an update can cause any issues, it's just tricking the drive into thinking a copy is a real game, thats all really.

ok sweet... will get it done then.

its only $50... it dies... put a new one in... my mate said last night the guy who did his has had his running solidly for months.

Theres always someone at their house, always kids and theyre always playing it and they havent had any issues.

The modchips more reliable than the system :O

Its only activated for boot up, so its hardly ever getting used.

Nark, its the games that cause the trouble with the Wii, try to only get PAL games.

eg: If u put in an NTSC version of Super Paper Mario in, it updates your machine and turns it into a brick!

Any1 wants theres chipped in Melbourne throw me a PM!!

Nark u have PM!

I was under the impression the disc u may be referring to is a 'setup' disc and is only used once? Or maybe its like oldschool PS2 days where different chips do different things? Whered u get your chip? WES? Devineo?

Got it from ozmodchips

its the Wiikey, i thought you could like run one of the 3 setup disks depending on the region the games from... cause theres PAL, NTSC and JP bootdisks... maybe ur right... i didnt actually read the site properly lol

if you get a LG (or hitachi with the same code) GDR 8164B you can copy them direct to your HDD

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/471073 - how to do it.

thats what i use. Bloody drive cost me $60 tho... people are capatilising on the fact u cant get em in stores any more.

Just go to the local markets... they usually have em (like 13 games for $100)... or download em or hire em

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
